1. Mr. Heron is a 78-year-old client of the agency you are employed with. He lives in a retirement home but is supported by your agency two mornings each week. He has been a client of yours for a month. Mr. Heron's forgetfulness is progressing slowly, but he remains a person with precise ideas and preferences regarding how things should be done. Mr. Heron's occupation was a high school principal. He held that position for over thirty years. He is married and has two adult children and five grandchildren.

Three times in the last two weeks when you have visited Mr. Heron you have found him hovering near the elevator in his building. He has appeared slightly agitated and has not been fully dressed. Today you find him in the same location wearing a suit jacket with no shirt underneath, and he seems particularly upset. He says to you, "The train isleavingand I've got to be on it or I will be late for school."
